Abstract
NSW Department of Planning and Environment, Resources Regulator – Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal.
The Department of Planning and Environments Resources Regulator (RR) is working to ensure that the management of rehabilitation activities by Industry, and its regulation by the government is strengthened even further in NSW. To do this, RR is implementing two significant projects in 2018. The reforms and initiatives being put in place include:
The Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal will be the focus of the presentation at the 2018 Rehabilitation Conference as final UAT testing is undertaken and the go-live date nears.
The Department has developed the Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal to streamline the collection of rehabilitation GIS spatial data from lease holders. This will allow collection of the rehabilitation spatial data into a centralised geodatabase which will be utilised for monitoring and regulation of the rehabilitation of mining and petroleum activities. The submission of GIS data will be required as part of the new guidelines being rolled out as part of the Rehabilitation Reform Program.
The portal will also provide key functionality to help Industry fulfil annual reporting requirements such as:
The data will be used by RR in the assessment and regulation of rehabilitation progress and performance. It will also be used to improve the assessment of the required rehabilitation securities for mine sites in NSW.
It also provides a platform for future innovation in community engagement and communication for mine rehabilitation.
Both initiatives will help make sure that NSW continues to be at the forefront of rehabilitation operational policy and practice in Australia.
NSW Department of Planning and Environment, Resources Regulator – Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal.
The Department of Planning and Environments Resources Regulator (RR) is working to ensure that the management of rehabilitation activities by Industry, and its regulation by the government is strengthened even further in NSW. To do this, RR is implementing two significant projects in 2018. The reforms and initiatives being put in place include:
- Rehabilitation Reform Program, and the
- Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal
The Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal will be the focus of the presentation at the 2018 Rehabilitation Conference as final UAT testing is undertaken and the go-live date nears.
The Department has developed the Mine Rehabilitation GIS Portal to streamline the collection of rehabilitation GIS spatial data from lease holders. This will allow collection of the rehabilitation spatial data into a centralised geodatabase which will be utilised for monitoring and regulation of the rehabilitation of mining and petroleum activities. The submission of GIS data will be required as part of the new guidelines being rolled out as part of the Rehabilitation Reform Program.
The portal will also provide key functionality to help Industry fulfil annual reporting requirements such as:
- Generate KPI reports
- Generate and submit required GIS data on the portal using tracing functionality.
- Print PDF maps for annual reports
- And more
The data will be used by RR in the assessment and regulation of rehabilitation progress and performance. It will also be used to improve the assessment of the required rehabilitation securities for mine sites in NSW.
It also provides a platform for future innovation in community engagement and communication for mine rehabilitation.
Both initiatives will help make sure that NSW continues to be at the forefront of rehabilitation operational policy and practice in Australia.
